¿What could I do?¿Any Ideas?.

Re: Failed to activate module geometry ...

I forgot to say that when I finished the installation with the InstallWizard, I clicked on the "launch salome" button, it started and the modules were working properly, so I suppose that I should configurate something to start the software properly, but I read that you should use some files (env.d) but I can't found how should I change that files. ¿How do you do it?.

Re: Failed to activate module geometry ...

I try to run salome as you and have the same errors. In readme file after installation salome you might read how to run Salome: at 1st export environment variables (~/salome_6.4.0/KERNEL_6.4.0/salome.sh) and after it in console try to print runSalome.

I use Debian 6.0.4 and it works for me. (I add a line source ~/salome_6.4.0/KERNEL_6.4.0/salome.sh in .bashrc and may run salome at any time)

Good luck

Re: Failed to activate module geometry ...

Hi!!, DO yo Solve your problem about to activate the geometry, mesh .. etc, how??I install Salome 6.4 and when launch the fist time run perfect, I launch Salome when the installation finished (click Launch Salome) but after I close the application and restart I can't activate the module Geometry and others ( I have exactly your same problem)Help!!

Re: Failed to activate module geometry ...

Well finally a friend helped me, he reinstalled everything and it worked. I think that he used runSalome to install and then to execute the program I use runAppli.

If you want to write runAppli in the console to execute salome you have to add the folder where the program is to the path, so you have to edit the .bashrc file in your home folder (perhaps it is hiden, but you can find it simply with ls -a or ls -al), in this way:

you open the file with gedit as super user and then add at the end of the file this line:

export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/salome/appli_V6_4_0

It is only my example, you don't have to put home user, instead you should put the right direction in your pc.

When my friend installed salome I looked like a stupid because it simply worked the first time he installed it, so I don't know what I did wrong, I can't help you.

But there is an important point, you can have ubuntu 11.10 and salome 6.4 properly working.

I am curious about this problem, I will read your answer to know if you finally can use it without problems.

Re: Failed to activate module geometry ...

Hi. I'm very new to this program: i occured the same error using Salome 6.6.0 on a Ubuntu 12.04 pc, without finding any solution, included what you gave right there.

After the third try installing salome, i gave stand still the final window of the installer, where the button "launch Salome" is still ready. I launched many times, and exited too, and the program works properly. Note that i launched ever from there, in this try, and it's evidence that i can't start a new install, every time i need to launch Salome.

If i close the installer and run Salome from

/home/user/salome/salome_appli_V6_6_0

it opens properly in GUI, but at opening geometry module it fail to start and shows the known message "failed to actiate module geometry".

So i red all the readme file showed inside the installer and i noticed about an installing test:

>>>3.3. Testing of installed SALOME platform

So i tested the python's command line "import salome_test", and this is the response:

type help to get general information on environment

Can someone answer about that thing? I think it is a clue that carries to the failure summoned above in that topic.
